The world's 50 greatest countries – according to you

A perennial favourite with huge appeal to winter sun-seekers, and echoes of the British way of life. Perhaps too, it is the combination of experiences on offer which underlie the appeal of a holiday here - from safaris in the Kruger, one of the best-managed parks on the continent, to the rich green landscapes and coastline of the Cape and its garden and wine routes, to the glorious setting, relaxed atmosphere and excellent cuisine of Cape Town itself. Combine all this with the weak rand, which means that the cost of living and of accommodation here is exceptionally-good value. The time-zone also helps - no battles with jet lag at the beginning and end of your holiday.
